I had a great experience working with Robin as my pickleball instructor. Robin is incredibly flexible with scheduling and always willing to adjust lessons based on what I need to work on. What I appreciate most is how thorough Robin is. Every technique is explained clearly, including the “why” behind each adjustment, which really helps everything click. Robin is also very understanding, patient, and encouraging, making each lesson feel comfortable and productive. Each session feels personalized and focused on helping me improve as a player. I would definitely recommend Robin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating pickleball instructor.

Robin put together a comprehensive assessment for our drilling group and gave us a couple skills to focus on each session based on the feedback he received from our group. The drills were tailored to our needs and what I really found helpful was that he recorded us playing and went the extra step to give us stats based on the recordings. We were given access to strategy concepts that were concise and easy to understand. This definitely helped me level up my pickleball IQ. He also worked with me one on one, giving me some simple adjustments to make with my dinking that had an immediate positive impact on my game.

Robin helped my mixed doubles partner and I prepare for our first DUPR tournament. After one session, we feel way more prepared than we ever did just drilling on our own. We worked on specific shots (eg flicks, speed ups, dinks) and he even gave us great tips on mixed doubles strategy as well. Robin approach to giving feedback is so friendly and constructive, we were learning brand new techniques that we would both be confident applying in a real game. So glad I booked 10 sessions with him! Looking forward to more.

Robin is an excellent coach and incredibly beginner friendly! I only started playing pickleball 1–2 months ago, and I’m honestly amazed by how much I’ve already learned from him. In such a short amount of time, he has taught me everything from foundational shots to topspin and, most importantly, how to become more consistent. What really sets Robin apart is how knowledgeable and skilled he is as a player. Because he is so consistent and technically strong, he can immediately identify what’s going wrong with a shot, explain why it’s happening, and show me exactly what I need to change to improve it. His feedback is always clear and practical—it immediately makes sense, and I can actually feel the difference in my shots after making the adjustments he suggests. In just one lesson, he was able to teach me almost every foundational shot I needed to know, while still taking the time to make sure I understood the technique behind each one. He is patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping his students improve. I’ve improved so much in such a short period of time, and I feel much more confident on the court because of his coaching. Robin is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and effective and I recommend him to anyone looking to learn pickleball or take their game to the next level!
